Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of shareholders of Hastings Rare Metals Limited ( Company ) will be held in the Boardroom of HLB Mann Judd at Level 19, 207 Kent Street, Sydney NSW 2000 on 20 January 2015 at 11am (AEDT) ( General Meeting ).

The Explanatory Memorandum provides additional information on matters to be considered at the General Meeting and forms part of this Notice.

Terms and abbreviations used in this Notice are defined in Schedule 1.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

The business of the Meeting affects your shareholding in the Company and your vote is important.

VOTING ELIGIBILITY

The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders at 7pm on 18 January 2015.

VOTING IN PERSON

To vote in person, attend the Meeting at the time, date and place set out above.

VOTING BY PROXY

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at the meeting. A Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting may appoint a second proxy. The appointment of the second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the proxy form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

2

  1. ( Direction to Vote ): A proxy need not vote in that capacity on a show of hands on any Resolution nor (unless the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting) on a poll. However, if the proxy’s appointment specifies the way to vote on a Resolution, and the proxy decides to vote in that capacity on that Resolution, the proxy must vote the way specified (subject to the other provisions of this notice of general meeting, including the voting exclusions noted below).

  2. (Voting restrictions with respect to undirected proxies) If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy and the Shareholder does not direct the Chairman of the Meeting how to vote on Resolutions 2 and 5, the Shareholder authorises the Chairman of the Meeting in respect of Resolutions 2 and 5 to exercise the proxy even if the Chairman of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of the vote on Resolutions 2 and 5, and that any votes cast by the Chairman of the Meeting in respect of Resolutions 2 and 5, other than as proxy holder, will be disregarded because of that interest.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies (where he has been appropriately authorised, having regard to the voting restrictions set out in this Notice of General Meeting) in favour of each Resolution.

  1. ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form (and attach any authority under which it is signed or a copy which appears on its face to be an authentic copy) by:

  2. (a) post to Hastings Rare Metals Limited, PO Box Q128 Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, NSW 1230; or

  3. (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 2 8268 8699, or

  4. (c) by email to [email protected]

  5. so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE

A body corporate which is a Shareholder, or which has been appointed as a proxy, may appoint an individual to act as its representative at the meeting. Unless it has previously been given to the Company, the representative should bring evidence of their appointment to the Meeting, together with any authority under which it is signed. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001.

ATTORNEY

A Shareholder may appoint an attorney to vote on their behalf.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of which this Explanatory Memorandum forms a part.

1. Background to Resolutions 1 to 6

On 8 December 2014 the Company announced a capital raising of $6,500,000 (93,500,000 Shares at 7 cents each) before costs, to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ).

Funds raised under the Placement will be used for a pre-feasibility study (PFS) of the Yangibana rare earths project. The pre-feasibility study will incorporate the following:

  • Mining lease application (s)

  • Further drilling to achieve target tonnage

  • Mine design and scheduling

  • Metallurgical test work and detailed flow sheet design

  • Processing plant design and costing (for capital and operating costs)

  • Infrastructure review

  • Government regulatory approvals

  • Environmental study

  • Pilot plant confirmation

  • Indigenous Culture and Heritage Agreements

Of the placement Shares, the issue of 70,000,000 Shares were approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 18 November 2014 (Resolution 4). Directors Messrs Lew, Ho and Mason have agreed to participate in the Placement for a total of 5,643,866 Shares, subject to Shareholder approval.

In the resolutions below Shareholders are being requested to ratify the issue of 17,856,134 shares to enable the Company to be able to retain its 15% capacity and to approve those shares subscribed for by Directors being 5,643,866 shares, at the same price (7 cents a share) and on the same terms as the placement to other subscribing parties.

Subsequent to the Placement the Company announced (on 9 December 2014) a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to raise a further $2 million which will allow the Company to fund the Pre-Feasibility study through to its completion. The SPP is severally underwritten by Messrs Lew and Dr Choon Huat Lee for 21,428,571 Shares and 7,142,857 Shares respectively. They will each be paid an underwriting fee of 6%.

A summary of the capital structure pre and post the Placement and SPP is set out below:

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of equity securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s members subsequently approve it.
